Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday called upon Bharatiya Janata Party workers in the poll-bound Kerala to take inspiration from cricketer Sanju Samson’s turnaround performance in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, describing it as a lesson in overcoming adversity and delivering under pressure.

Addressing party members ahead of the April 9 Assembly elections, Modi referred to Samson’s initial struggles in the tournament and his decisive comeback in the latter stages, which proved vital in securing India’s second T20 World Cup title.
